Traces of his work are to be found in later grammarians and lexicographers. (NP Philoxenus 8). Cyrillus, 5th century AD. His Glosses were used by Hesychius, Photius and in the Suda. (NP Kyrillos 5 and 6). Charles Labbé, 1582-1657, was a parliamentary barrister of Paris, who published, with the help of J. Scaliger Glosses on Greek law (1607), and prepared an edition of the Glossaries of ‘Cyril and Philoxenus’, which was published after his death by Du Cange (1679). (Sandys 2,287). The first part of this work contains Greek-Latin glosses, the second Latin-Greek glosses, followed by emendations; This work was reprinted in London, 1817, etc. as an appendage to the new edition of Stephanus’s Thesaurus. Ad 2: Aegidius Bucherius (Gilles Boucher), 1576-1665, was a French Jesuit and chronological scholar. His De Doctrina Temporum commentarius in Victorium Aquitanum of 1634 published for the first time a number of important medieval chronological documents, and other works on the computation of the date of Easter (the cycle of Victorius of Aquitaine). Victorius had written ca. 450 a Cursus Paschalis, in which he introduced a more precise computation of Easter. During the Synode of Orléans of 541 Victorius’ computations were accepted by the church. (LMA 8,1629/30). Boucher tells us in the praefatio that he got the MS with the Cursus Paschalis from his fellow Jesuit Jacobus Sirmundus during a visit to Paris in 1615. The editio princeps of and the commentary on the Cursus Paschalis and of the other late antique and early medieval computistical texts laid together with the work of Joseph Justus Scaliger (1579 and 1606) and that of Dionysius Petavius (1627) the foundations of the science of ‘Computus’, the science of time-reckoning, and of Computus ecclesiasticus, the method to regulate the calender of the church, especially the date of Easter) (Collation: Ad 1: pi1; A-2C4; chi1, A-2A4, 2B2, 2C-2H4; a-e4.
